This technique facilitates letting go of stress, anxiety and stored suppression, creating the possibility for freedom, profound relaxation, improved breathing and self-acceptance. The workshop includes a complete explanation of the process, one breathing session, and the processing of experiences — all within a safe, private, and loving environment.

Conscious: We do too many things unconsciously, almost instinctively; we breathe “normally” and take breathing for granted. In fact, when we are stressed or panicked, we actually stop breathing. In the CCB process, we focus on our the breath. Breathing becomes a circular technique by which we allow the breath to move in an unrestricted way, taking in as much oxygen as possible.

Connected: Here we keep the flow ofbreathing (inhaling and exhaling) in a natural, unbroken rhythm. This creates an opening to the subconscious mind and allows stored suppression to surface. These are often negatively repressed emotions, memories and energy blockages. As these arise into our conscious awareness, we then have the opportunity to relax into and accept whatever, wherever, and however it is happening, thereby integrating (healing) them at the cellular level quickly, effectively and permanently.

Breathing: The key here is that the entire process occurs naturally; we reduce and release anxiety and stress in a drug free manner. CCB is a safe, effective and permanent healing technique, and it opens the door to self-awareness, self acceptance and self-love.
